Open since at least 1925 when a Robert-Morton organ was installed, this theatre is still listed as open in the 1951 Film Daily Yearbook.

The former theater has been converted into a school.

The Congress is now the Clara Muhammmad School. The building is still standing. Function should be changed to school.

A 1936 NJ Supreme Court case mentioned that the Mira Theater Corp. operated the Congress on Orange Avenue and the Essex on Springfield Avenue.

could this have been known as the victoria theatre at some point... http://caprioconnections.com/pictures/statue1.html "Victoria Theatre, 257 S. Ornage Ave. Newark, the home of refined Italian Vaudeville and the best Italian features, every Saturday and Sunday, Week days English and best Photo Plays" stumbled upon this while trying to make sense of an ad on the back wall of the Adams Theatre http://newarkbusiness.org/photos/theatres/displayimage.php?album=lastup&cat=27&pos=0
